It’s mock draft season!
For the Colorado Buffaloes, they will be closely monitoring both Nate Landman and Carson Wells when the 2022 NFL draft begins in a couple of weeks.
Up until this point, both Wells and Landman have gone undrafted in most mock drafts despite having successful pro days with NFL scouts in attendance.
Well, that changes now. Dane Brugler of The Athletic dropped a fresh seven-round mock draft and has Carson Wells being selected by the Los Angeles Chargers at the end of the seventh round at No. 255 overall.
The Chargers are a terrific landing spot for Wells, especially with Brandon Staley as the team’s head coach and his insistence on retooling the defense going into 2022.
The Chargers added Khalil Mack to pair with Joey Bosa, and Wells would have an immediate path to being a rotational piece while getting to learn from two of the best pass rushers in the NFL.
Landman, unfortunately, was not in Brugler’s mock draft and is likely to end up as an undrafted free agent, although it won’t take him long to get a training camp invite or a deal after the draft ends.
Most Buffs fans might not want to see Wells in the AFC West, but nonetheless, it would be encouraging to hear Wells’ name called during the NFL Draft.
